5.0 out of 5 stars Guilty pleasure, April 19, 2007

Ah, "Double Switch". I've wasted so much time on this game (SegaCD version). Sure the video quality wasn't great and some of the acting was bad, but that's the case with almost ALL `full motion video' games.

It was just fun to see Deborah Harry, Corey Haim, and R. Lee Ermey (before I knew who he was) in these roles. The plot was simplistic and almost always a stretch, but this was the new revolutionary technology of its day. The graphics were so lifelike compared to "Dragon's Lair" (arcade), "Super Mario World" (SNES), and "Tempest 2000" (Jaguar).

The company that pioneered these "U-Direct Movies", Digital Pictures, made some of the most memorable fan controlled entertainment available in its day. Digital Pictures, I miss you.

Fun? Yes.
Quality? No.
Perfect? Absolutely not.
Memorable? You better believe it.

I was that lame kid who got a 32x and a Sega CD but not a Saturn or a Slaystation. So I'd pick up anything out there that was different or sounded cutting edge just to make myself feel like I was playing the coolest games. To me Double Switch is the best of the best when it comes to FMV games. Are these games pretty dumb? Yeah. Do most people hate them? Definately. But, to me Double Switch is like the love child of a Corey Haim 80's movie, that episode from Saved by the Bell where its a murder mystery, and hardcore voyerism (without the porn). I agree with everything the other dude wrote; this game is so freakin cool!
